LNER tender Lining

Post by JJC »

I have been asked by a friend to paint and line a 7mm V2 model in LNER Green Livery. Unfortunately as a BR era modeller I don't have any reference books references covering this. While the livery page at [url]http://www.lner.info/article/liveries/livery.shtml[/url] gives comprehensive details, it seems a little unclear regarding the panel lining [as against the edge/border lining] on tenders. The details I'm unsure of are:
1. How wide was the white/black/white panel lining?
2. How far from the edge was it located?
3. What was the corner radius between the vertical and horizontal lines?

Thanks for any information and help

Unless somebody can supply the details from a primary source document (I wouldn't be surprised if Coachman or Bill Bedford has the authoritative data) then I suspect you might find it helpful to look for a Nigel Digby article published in BRM in recent years.

There have been a couple of articles in the old modelling comics back in the 1970s I think, but your man for this is Nick Campling, aka 2512silverfox. There is not always a 'standard' answer' to these questions...

The paint spec is in RCTS vol 1 for an A1, the V2 will be similar.
